ART TCS Twin Compressor System INTRODUCTION Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of an ART TCS (Twin Compressor System). You now own a unique compression system with features unlike any other.
ART TCS Twin Compressor System TCS FEATURES Optical Compression VCA Compression 4 Compression Modes /16 Different V3 settings Controls Per Channel Attack and Release Transient Cont.
ART TCS Twin Compressor System INSTALLATION The TCS may be used in a wide variety of applications and environments. In a rack-mountable, all-steel enclosure, the unit is designed for continuous professional use.
ART TCS Twin Compressor System CONTROLS & INDICATORS 1 Power – Switches the unit’s power on and off. 2 Instrument Input and Level – The front ¼” jack is intended for instrument level signals and the level control applies from 0 to 30db of gain to the signal.
ART TCS Twin Compressor System 5 Bypass, Tube, Det.Loop Switches – These 3 switches control the channel settings. When depressed, the BYPASS switch completely bypasse s the compressor controls, including output level (It should be noted that this is an active bypass, so if the unit is unpowered no signal shall pass through).
ART TCS Twin Compressor System REAR CONNECTIONS 1 Rear Input Jacks – The TCS features both ¼ inch and XLR connectors on the back as inputs wired in parallel. The rear input jacks accept line level signals up to +20dBu. The rear inputs of Channel 1 ar e disconnected whenever the front panel ¼” jack is used.
ART TCS Twin Compressor System OPERATION Compression Basics – Compression is an effectiv e way to gently control the dynamics of a signal. The most important setting in your compressor is the threshold . The threshold sets the average signal level, above which the TCS acts on.
ART TCS Twin Compressor System might be necessary. If a VCA comp ressor has one advantage over opto- based compression, it’s speed. VCAs have very quick response time when peaks need to be compressed very rapi dly. For these reasons VCAs are especially good in situations that require amplitude protection.
ART TCS Twin Compressor System Manual – this is a general all-purpose setting, which gives you maximum flexibility; it uses a gate for noise reduction. Percussion – this setting is intended for percussion compression on single instruments such as snare, kick, etc, and includes a gate for noise reduction.

ART TCS Twin Compressor System COMMON APPL ICATION S Setting up the TCS with a mixing console For most compression situations we want to set the TCS in series with the channels it will be processing. Start by first placing an insert cable (¼ inch TRS to 2 ¼ inch TS) into the channel(s) insert point on your console.
ART TCS Twin Compressor System Ducking One example of utilizing the detector loop inserts on your TCS is ducking. With the TCS connected to the source material to be compressed place a line level signal, such as a vocal mic r un through a pre amplifier, into the side chain jack on the TCS.
ART TCS Twin Compressor System ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS Setting up the TCS for sustain with a guitar amplifier If your guitar amp has a pre-EQ effects loop you can patch the TCS into it. Otherwise plug your guitar into the instrument input on Channel 1 of the TCS, and increase the instrument level until you’re working with a decent signal level.
ART TCS Twin Compressor System Setting up the TCS for stereo mastering For bus mastering or stereo mix masteri ng try placing the TCS in the signal chain after the mixer, or on a subgroup bus.
